                          No. 18/03/2011-SR Dated the 28th July, 2011
To
Heads of all Circles.

Subject: Clarification regarding giving option for alteration/withdrawal or inclusion of new membership of service associations/unions in the month of April each year to be made effective from the month of July of that year.

Sir/Madam,
I am directed to refer to the Department's letter no. 13-1/93-SR dated 25.02.1994 circulating Department of Personnel & Training's OM No. 2/10/80-JCA dated 31.01.1994 regarding procedure for verification of membership of associations for the purpose of recognition under CCS(RSA) Rules, 1993. In accordance with instructions contained in said OM, option, if any, for alteration, withdrawal or inclusion of new members is to be given in the month of April each year to DDO or any other designated authority.

2. The Department, vide letter No. 13/01/2010-SR dated 18.02.2010, modified 'letter of authorization' prescribed by the DOPT specifically in order to comply with the directions of the Hon'ble Court of Madras given in Writ Petitions No. 4704-4707 of 1999 and Contempt Petition No. 950/09. The modified 'letter of authorization' was endorsed with signature of Director (SR & Legal) with an objective to rule out the possibility of using the old forms bearing the signature of the employees, as some of the associations had complained about it. The signature of Director (SR & legal) has no relevance in regard to letters of authorization which may be used for change of option or for seeking new membership in the month of April every year.

3. All the 'letter of authorization' whether bearing Director (SR & Legal)'s signature or not, applied during the month of April may be considered as per the standing instructions and in view of the clarification in the preceding paragraph.

                                        WHAT WOULD BE THE DA ?

All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) for the month of June 2011 has been announced by Ministry of labour and Employment.

As per Press Information Bureau's report in this regard CPI-W for the month of June-2011 stood at 189.


With this announcement, all data required for estimation of increase in Dearness allowance for Central Government Employees with effect from 1st July 2011 have been given in black and white by Government. Let's have a look at the same.


Month             Jul-10      Aug-10      Sep-10       Oct-10    Nov-10      Dec-10
CPI(IW)           178            178             179              181          182             185

Month            Jan-11      Feb-11       Mar-11      Apr-11    May-11     Jun-11
CPI(IW)          188             185             185             186           187             189


As we predicted last month, Dearness Allowance with effect from 1st July 2011 is estimated to be 58%.

Consequently Central Government Employees may get an increase in DA of 7%, compared to the existing DA rate of 51%.

Government Decision on increase of DA with effect from July-2011 will be taken in the month of September or October 2011.
